Butke later said that analytics is just a tool that should reinforce what you see. Essentially what Dubas is saying. I think Dubas would agree with Burke that you can't sit behind a computer and steal players away

A dynamic offensive forward that backchecks hard and establishes his
presence through playing smart, puck-possession hockey. A very quick
skater gifted with great hands and hockey sense. Battles hard in all
three zones and shows a willingness to do whatever it takes to get the
puck to the back of the net; an unselfish player. Embodies the
definition of a dynamic number-generating machine who makes the players
around him better.

Alot of good in there also 118 points in 55 games. Kid is unreal. Screams Gilmour.

@MaxwellHowe@Mitch_S2 Cap flexibility should have no effect, all of these contracts should be under 2.5 mil. It's not our cap flexibility that matters rather the contending teams giving up assets for them.

It should be a priority going into the off season to identify valuable role players who can be turned around at the deadline. Essentially buying mid round picks. Players who are respected who can mentor and help encourage a hungry sort of playing style. Winnik and Santorelli are prime examples of this. While their impact to the Leafs may not have been monumental, the value they brought could go a long long way.
